Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind.  In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships."  OPSEC is everyone's responsibility. 

DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.  

DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Hello,

My name is Tabatha and I too received the letter yesterday.  My son Aaron is on ship 3 division 189. I live in central Georgia.  Aaron is my baby and now my daughter wants to follow him in. I am not sure if I can do this all over again.

I am a Air Force vet so the whole Navy thing is new to me, unsure of what he is going through and such. Funny, bootcamp was a piece of cake for me and my son is stronger than I was. Why am I so worried about him?
